Radio personality and self-styled consumer troubleshooter Tom Martino won a small but significant victory in his ongoing personal bankruptcy case with a settlement against a New Mexico man who blamed Martino for the crash of his experimental airplane.

Martino sued James Cooper, who had tried to collect on the crash of the Xenon gyroplane, blaming the radio host for an August 2011 wreck on modifications Martino made when he owned it.

Martino, who filed bankruptcy in September, said the crash is wholly on Cooper and that he’s not liable for any of Cooper’s expenses or losses. Cooper paid $90,000 for the plane. Martino had traded it in to a dealer for a helicopter before Cooper purchased it.

Important to Martino is that he paid nothing to Cooper to settle the matter, according to a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver on Tuesday.

Other details of the settlement were not revealed. Cooper had hoped to sell the wrecked plan for about $17,000, according to court testimony.

It’s the second adversary action of five that’s been dismissed. The first was Martino’s battle against court-appointed Trustee Simon Rodriguez. That was dismissed and Rodriguez is back digging into Martino’s finances.
